Next Tuesday, August 3, catch the first presentation of virtual readings from 2021 AWP Intro Journals Award winners on YouTube. The event is hosted by David Essinger, general editor of the project and writing instructor from the University of Findlay. The broadcast begins at 6 pm EST.

My fellow poets and I will read our winning works, discuss the inspiration behind our poems, and give insight into our writing processes. Register for the event and live Q&A here, or catch the replay later on AWP’s YouTube channel.

I can also confirm that my poem, “Pandemic Haircuts,” is now available in print from Reed Magazine. In the issue I’m joined by another AWP winner, Skye Jackson (“which one,” pg. 2), and my friend and BGSU poetry alum, Turner Wilson, also has a wonderful piece featured (“Express Train,” pg. 116).
